WILLIAM ASPLEY ROBINSON', OF AUBURN, NEW YORK.

IMPROVEMENT In BoLTs FOR sTovE-Doons, acc.

To all whom it ma/y concern y Be it known that I, WlLLIAM AsPLEY ROBINSON,

late of Birmingham, England, but now in the city ofv Auburn, county of Cayuga, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement for the Securing of Doors to Stoves for Railway-Cars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, in which- 'Figure 1 represents a front elevation of the stovedoor, and v Figure 2, a sectional plan of fig. 1, on a line of l1-z.

Figs. 1 and 2 represent an ordinaryA stove-front, A being the door, and B, the frame.

To secure the effectual closing ofthe door A to the frame B is this invention, Which consists of a drawbolt, O, having a knuckle-jointed end,D, securedto the door A, by means ofthe casing E. l

To open the door, the knuckle-jointed end D of the draw-bolt Ol requires to be placed in a line with the bolt, as shown by thedotted line L, and by means of the handle H, the bolt C can be drawn towards the stop-lug J, which prevents the bolt O from being drawn back further than necessary to clear the keeper K, on the frame B.

To secure the door after closing it, the draw-bolt O is simply moved forward, until the knuckle-end D falls at right angles with the bolt G, which cannot be again withdrawn until the knuoklefend D is placed in position.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What I olainl therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The draw-bolt C, having a knuckle-jointed end, D, in combination with the keeperK and bolt-casing E,

all arranged substantially as and for the purpose de-A sciibed. p

l W. A. ROBINSON.
